2017 Launceston Show could be 'last show'

The sawdust has been dumped and the carnies are rolling in for what could be the last ever Royal Launceston Show.

Royal Launceston Show Society president Jock Gibson said costs of relocating the show would be too much to be worthwhile, if the community wouldn’t support the event.

“Obviously we can’t stay at this site for too much longer … the show society is in a fairly ordinary financial situation, so we’re asking the community to show us whether they want a show or not,” he said.
